Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lavigny could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Lavigny a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
